hmm..well..that was intreresting.
wow, a change in my same ol' same ol'. something interesting happened tonight. and boy was it confusing!
okay so lets see, where to start...
so okay, i was really bord after work so i decided to catch a bus and ride it for a while. thought i would just go to berlingame fred meyer. so i ended up in down town portland. don't ask, i was reading. and was like, oh well, might as well walk around a bit, being that i don't have anywhere to be at the moment. wandered for about an hour or so, and i decided to catch a bus in homes direction. so i walked up and sat at the 45 bus stop. i notesed that there was only one other person with me there. so i asked her what bus she was taking. she just shrugged her sholders. o.O; "well...where are you going" i asked."Tigar-" (accent) and i was like, oh cool me too, but you know the 12 will get you there faster? she didn't seem to understand, and so i tryed to explain to her that the 45 took a long obnoxcious route that takes the 12 about half the time. but she wouldn't beleive me. and then the 12 showed up and i was like "Come on the 12 is here. it will bring you to tigard!" "tigar-?" "yes, come on" and i lead her onto the bus. we rode the bus for a bit when she started getting...worried? and i tryed to explain yet again, that the 12 goes to the same place as the 45. i don't think she understood the bulk of it, but she calmed down none the less. we try to make conversation, language allowing, for the ride and i found out she is veitnamese(sp?) and is studying to become a beautition or hair stylist or something of that nature. and that she had only been in the states for 3 months! no wonder it was had to communicate. and when we got to the transit center she started looking worried again, and i told her that we were at tigard. she was confused. after awhile of trying and trying to figure out where she was trying to go, i discovered that she wanted the 45 because she lives on the route, not because it went to tigard transit center...X.X;;; you could imagin how i felt at that point. so we checked the schedule and it turns out the fourty five had just finished running! man, did i screw up. x.x; so then i decide that it has become my duty to make sure she gets home safly and i ask about her addrerss. she starts saying some numbers...o.o. i was like, well, whats the street? she didn't seem to know what that was. so i try my best to define it and she picks up on what i'm talking about, thank god. but all she says was "one one five"..then i remember that slache used to live off of 121st street, over by walnut, and that i would take the 45 to go see her. Now i know where she is talking about! hahaha! so i start calling some of my lloyal co-working buddys to see if i could possibly, maybe get one of them to give her a ride home. i ask sean, he is still at work, and he doesn't know when he will be off because there is a big GM meeting there the next morning, so he wants everything to be spotless. so i ask about alex, and he hands the phone over. alex will be done in ten minutes! Yes! so i ask him if he can help me out, and thank god he can. he says he will be off in 10 minutes. so i tell her and we take a seat. we chat a little more and i got a picture of her with my phone for anyone who doesn't believe that this actually happend. lol. and alex calls me back about 20 or so minutes later. "where are you at?" "um..tigard transit center..? where are you?" "i'm at tigard too, right off of canyon road."......"What?!? what are you doing way the hell over there?!" "well if this isn't tigard transit center, where is it?" "like five secounds from hometown!" "oh shi...aieght..be there..umm.." "ack forget it it, i will call you back if sean can't" "um..k." so i give sean a call back, he still has 20+ minutes left. while we have been sitting there for ,give or take, a half an hour. so i was like, ack alex can get here faster then that. so i call alex back and ask him to shoot over here, and he ses 15 minutes. "um, can ya floor it?" "uhhh...okay, i will be there a.s.a.p." then i said "thanks" and hung up. about 3 minutes later a car pulls up, and she starts to look at it closly and grabs her things, and i was like "no no, that not my friend" and she said "no, thats me" ohhhh that sly girl got a ride for herself right from under my nose. lol. so i call up alex to let him know not to worrie about it, and its taken care of. and needless to say i was very relieved.
so that was an interesting night. i bet she won't take advice from strangers anymore! hahaha
